Eric Brown interviewed by Mark Chitty

Mark Chitty, of the science fiction blog Walker of Worlds, has interviewed Solaris's Eric Brown, author of recent novels Engineman and Guardians of the Phoenix, as well as the forthcoming Kings of Eternity, which will be available in shops this April.



Here's the interview, and an excerpt:-

The Kings of Eternity ... is about a group of friends and their discovery, in the Hampshire woods in 1935, of a portal to outer space. What comes through the portal will change their lives for ever, and the story follows these individuals over the course of the next sixty or so years. I've been writing the novel, on and off, for ten years, and I think it's probably the best thing I've done....

Eric Brown Interview

Wotcher!

Well, it seems I totally should have held off linking to his awesome review.

Mark Chitty over at Walker of Worlds has now posted an interview with Solaris's own Eric Brown!

Check it out here.

Eric talks about Engineman, the upcoming Guardians of the Phoenix and The Kings of Eternity, his influences, and "being a Bob Shaw sort of writer."

Enjoy.

Reviews and acclaim!

The Barnes and Noble sci-fi and fantasy blog has written a great article on Natasha Rhodes' paranormal fiction - the Kayla Steele series. Read the article here.

Vampires, werewolves, avenging angels, a super sexy heroine, an apocalyptic storyline, nonstop action and adventure, monsters—and monster trucks!—Natasha Rhodes’s Kayla Steele saga (Dante's Girl, The Last Angel, and the recently released Circus of Sins) has absolutely everything a paranormal fantasy reader might want… so why isn’t she a household name like Laurell K. Hamilton, Kim Harrison, or Charlaine Harris?


Walker of Worlds has previewed two of our covers, James Lovegrove's Age of Odin and Ian Whates's The Noise Revealed, and written a review of Ian's The Noise Within.

The sequel, The Noise Revealed, is definitely a book on my must-read list for next year. The ending here opens up so many questions and throws this series into the realm of some of the best space opera available today. I'd recommend this in a heartbeat to any fan of the genre, but also to anyone who wants to read a fast paced story written with style. It's a page turner for sure!


SFRevu have also written a great review of Jetse de Vries's Shine anthology, over here.

Reviews and another "Best of..."

Hi all,

Mark Chitty of the Walker of Worlds blog has just written a very nice review of Eric Brown's Cosmopath, the third Bengal Station novel. Ten out of ten!

He's also put the second Bengal Station, Xenopath, fifth in his list of the best books of 2009 (as he only gave Xenopath nine out of ten, I'll expect to see Cosmopath high in his list next year).

And with Justin Gustainis' Evil Ways now out in A-format paperback, Mark's reminded us of the review he wrote for that one, too.

Cheers, Mark!
